I often receive requests to present updated false teachings and false
prophecies by the myriad of heretics out there. We do try to keep
up with all the latest. But I have to remind people that those we
have exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they have already
done in the past, which is why they are still on our site. So what
they are doing now has no relevance as to whether or not they are now to
be considered a true Biblical teacher. If and when they repent, that
is renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make restitution
to those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound Biblical doctrine
we will give you that information. As of now NONE of the people we
have exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith teachings,
heretical practices or their false prophecies. But in the interest
of helping you to respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles
are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some newer stuff you
can add to the pile. For you and me this really makes no difference,
but for those who are living in deception perhaps it might demolish one
of their arguments against the truth.

I will only deal with quotes from 2007 through 2009 in this article.
I will not go into detailed analysis of these newer quotes in order to
save space, but will present a short comment and link you elsewhere for
the detailed report, if there is one.

The Church has many administrators, but few examples
of Christ; many who can explain the doctrines of Christianity but few who
walk as Jesus walked. Indeed, while many stand in leadership today,
not many function in the higher realms of authority that Christ purchased
for His Church. However, a new badge of authority is coming to the Church.
It
will bring deliverance on a scale unprecedented; in some cases, entire
cities will be turned toward God.(Francis Frangipane,
ElijahList, 8/17/09)

Two things wrong with this teaching. (1) This is yet another
in a long diatribe/diaprax against the Church by someone who who has demontrated
over and over again that he doesn't even know what Church is, having taught
the false doctrines of the Latter Rain for decades. (2) You cannot
walk as Jesus walked unless you walk in sound doctrine, which is exactly
what Francis is not doing. (3) There will be no conversion of "entire
cities". There is no such thing called for in the Bible under the
New Covenant. This is part of the "transformations" agenda of the
New Apostolic. Jesus is saving individuals today, but not through
false teachers. Their agenda is to take over the world; the true
agenda of Christians is to preach the Gospel and disciple those from all
nations who repent and believe.

Paulette Reed

Here's what happens. As we're serving God as His royal
priesthood, a day comes when He no longer calls us servants, but He calls
us friends.(Paulette Reed, ElijahList, 8/15/09)

God became our friend through His Son and our belief in
Him resulting in repentance. But we always have to remember that
He is God. There is no time, even in eternity, when we will not be
His servants. We are His priests, His representatives on earth but
we will always be His servants.

Al Thomas

People needed miracles in those days as much as they
need them now. Maybe you need one or know someone who does. Overshadowing
means good news. Soon, many prophets will predict God's glory overshadowing
the Church. This is good news. (I have no use for doom and gloom, always
giving out bad news. Yes, we all need repentance, but making people
feel guilty makes people run from God, not to God. The Church doesn't
need bad news. Sinners don't need bad news. They know how bad they are.
They
need the liberating power of God.) (Al Thomas, ElijahList,
8/11/09)

The whole point of the Gospel is that sinners need to know that they
are sinners and that they need to repent (Luke 15:10). Worldly people
don't know that or recognize it because their minds are darkened (Eph.
4:18). Only by the proclamation of the Gospel can men know true guilt
before God (Rom. 10:14-15). When the Holy Spirit convicts a person
He does so because they have been made aware that they are sinners for
the first time.

Joh 16:8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt
{Or
will expose the guilt of the world} in regard to sin and righteousness
and judgment:

It is then that they must choose to repent and believe or reject Jesus
Christ (Acts 3:19). Miracles do not make people believe (Mark 8:11-12).
We have ample evidence of that in the Old and New Testaments (Num. 14:11,
John 9:18). If we do not know we are sinners and believe on the One
who became flesh as the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary (the only place the
word "overshadowed" is used in the Bible) then we cannot be born again
(John 3:3).

The idea that God is God and man is man,and
that the two may meet but never merge, and that there is a fellowship but
never a fusion is untrue and contrary to the Holy Scriptures. A theophany
is a visible manifestation of God to human beings. Pretty darn neat
and enough to make us realize that we are, as Peter says, a peculiar and
special people. (Kim Clements, ElijahList, 8/03/09)

What Clement is teaching here is the not-so-subtle teaching
that continues from Word of Faith teachers, that is that we are all little
gods. We are not a "theophany" of God. Jesus Christ as THE
Angel Of God in the Old Testament was a theophany of what He would become
in the Incarnation. The Holy Spirit indwells believers and we have
the weight of glory in us to proclaim His Gospel and live like Him and
for Him in the world. But we are not Him. We are His children,
He is our Abba. We are His bride, He is our groom. We are His
servants, He is our Master. We are His inheritance, He is our God.
Teaching that we are a "theophany", a part of God Himself because we have
the indwelling Holy Spirit, is and continues to be blasphemy.

John Mark Pool

The Lord says, "I did not send you into this world
to judge and condemn, but to loose and liberate through simply sharing
the good news of My love. Do not judge anything or anyone before the
time. Commit all judgment unto Me, for I do so righteously and justly.(John
Mark Pool, ElijahList, 8/02/09)

This is a false prophecy. The Lord would never say
this. Why? Because He already stated in His Word that we are
to judge those inside the Church as God judges those outside (1 Cor. 5:12),
we are to judge and test everything (1 Thes. 5:21), and there are ways
in which He has told us to judge (See this
article). Someday true believers will judge the nations and even
the angels in the Millennial Kingdom (1 Cor. 6:2-3).

Doug Addison (quoting Bob Jones and Larry Randolph)

Last April, I was talking on the telephone with Bob
Jones who told me he was in Heaven and saw that "books were being reconciled
regarding people's destinies." A short while later I was talking with
Larry
Randolph who said that he saw the court of Heaven in session, and there
are things about our future that have not been determined as of yet. (Doug
Addison (quoting Bob Jones and Larry Randolph, "Decrees Are Falling From
Heaven", ElijahList, 8/02/09)

Doug Addsion quoting other Latter Rain false prophets Bob
Jones and Larry Randolph betrays the fact that Latter Rain teachers are
still holding to a God Who does not really know the future. He is
a limited Open Theist god who does not know what will happen and thus cannot
predestine the future. This flies in the face of the Biblical fact
that God is omniscient and has ordained everything according to His foreknowledge
(Acts 2:23, 1 Peter 1:2, Rom. 8:29). Bob Jones was not in heaven
because the books there are already written, not in the process of "being
reconciled". God already knows the future, which is based on His
omniscience and foreknowledge of the free will choices of man. Larry
Randolph was also not in heaven because God knew the future from eternity
past to eternity future. This place these false prophets are going
to, either in their imaginations or by the enemy, are not the third heaven
of God.

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally
self-existent, self-revealed "I AM" and has further revealed Himself
as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e., Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10, 11;
Matthew 28:19).

That all believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect, and
earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Ghost
and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This
was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With
it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of
the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:29; Acts
1:4; 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct
from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 10:44-46;
11:14-16; 15:7-9).

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and
is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17).
(Benny
Hinn, Faith Statement page, http://www.bennyhinn.org/aboutus/articledesc.cfm?id=1392)

Let's take each of these statements in Hinn's "faith statement"
and compare it to the Bible.

(1) God has revealed Himself as more than "embodying the principles
of relationship and association" as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
He has revealed Who He is: one "What" and three "Whos" with each "Who"
possessing all the attributes of Deity and personality. This statement
by Hinn leaves the door open to Oneness theolgy advocates, some of his
friends like Tommy Tenney, and other false ideas of Who God is. A
proper statement of Faith with regards to Who God is would be something
like: We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect
and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

(2)There was never a normative Christian experience, even in
the early church, of baptism by fire. That was at Pentecost.
During the time when the Holy Spirit was first given to the believing Jews
then Gentiles it may have seemed that the baptism of the Holy Spirit was
a subsequent experience to being born again. But on closer examination
we find that even then those who received the Holy Spirit had already believed
and later in the epistles it is evident that water baptism is a picture
of what has already taken place in the spiritual realm when a person has
a new self created in them and the Holy Spirit indwells them. Hinn
continues to teach the false idea that the baptism of the Spirit is divorced
from the new birth.

(3) Is. 53:4-5 is not talking about healing from physical sickness,
but from spiritual death. It is talking about the way out of spiritual
sickness through the cross of Christ. Christians are not guaranteed
freedom from sickness because of the cross. God does heal people
but He also may allow people to remain sick for His purposes, such as Paul
(Gal. 4:13-14). This is the false basis on which Benny Hinn shouts
at His meetings "Everyone will be healed tonight". This is a false
claim and has NEVER come true at his meetings, in fact he has, to date,
not been able to present documented medical evidence for ANY healing in
his meetings when repeatedly asked. That is because his theology
is wrong. You don't get right experience from wrong theology.
The Bible tells us how to pray for the sick.

Jas 5:14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders
of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the
Lord.

In those last precious hours before the cross, Jesus
spoke to His disciples about supernatural power. He told them they would
soon be able to have whatever they asked for in prayer.He toldthem He was about to make so much power available to them they’d
not only able to do the miraculous signs and wonders He’d done, they’d
be able to do even greater things.(Kenneth Copeland,
Voice of Victory Magazine, Spetmeber 2009)

Two continued false teachings from Copeland proving he has
not changed his tune in decades. (1) Copeland and Word of Faith teachers
love to quote the verse about receiving whatever you ask in prayer (Mark
11:24) without giving the guidelines in the whole teaching of the Word
for those requests. Believers may ask, seek and knock (Matt. 7:7,
Luke 11:9) but must do so according to the Word (John 15:7), according
to God's will (1 John 5:14) and as long as we are living in obedience to
his commands (1 John 3:22). (2) The verse about doing greater works (not
"greater things") is not talking about greater miracles as no one will
be walking on water, changing the weather instantly, or feeding 5000 men
with a few loaves and fishes, etc. What John 14:12 is talking about
is the fact the the ministry of Jesus was primarily to the Jews, but the
ministry of the disciples on down to us is not only to the Jews but to
the Gentiles to the farthest ends of the earth. The work of the Church
today then has greater effect because of the work of Christ on the cross.
Any miracles being done through true believers are never from us, but from
God. He is the One who heals and does signs and wonders in the earth,
and He must receive all the glory, not false faith healers who go around
making a name for themselves with lying signs and wonders and bilking people
of their money.

Tit 1:11 They must be silenced, because they are ruining
whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for
the sake of dishonest gain.

Bob & Bonnie Jones

We are going to see Roe vs. Wade overturned. It's
time to bless the United States and not curse her. Bob Jones heard Kate
Smith singing God Bless America. This is the United States of America.
We
are united by diversity, and the angel over this nation is named "Union"
- we are united by diversity and strengthened by union. (Bob
& Bonnie Jones, "New Apostolic Government in Place by 2012 and "God
is Not Disappointed in You", 2009, source)

This is a continuation of prophecies from people like Cindy
Jacobs and Dutch Sheets that have not come true and there is no basis to
expect they will with the Obama government or any other from here on out.
There is also no angel over the nation of the USA called "Union" unless
it is a demonic angel. The true Church is seperating from the false
world religion which Jones and others are bringing about in the churches.
For the true Church and true believers there will NEVER be union with false
teachers and false prophets. Only those who stay in the Faith till
the end will be saved (Heb. 4:14, 1 Cor. 15:2).

* Ecclesiastical apostles. Apostles who
are given authority over a sphere which includes a number of churches,
presumably in an apostolic network headed up by the apostle.

* Functional apostles. Apostles who are
given authority over those who have an ongoing ministry in a certain specific
sphere of service which has defined boundaries of participation.

* Apostolic Team Members. Apostles whose
apostolic ministry functions in conjunction with an apostle who is seen
as the leader of a team of one or more other peer-level vertical apostles.
They may be assigned specific spheres by the leading apostle. These are
more than administrators or assistants or armor-bearers.

* Congregational apostles. Apostles functioning
as senior pastors of dynamic, growing churches of more than 700-800.

Horizontal Apostles

* Convening apostles. Apostles who have
authority to call together on a regular basis peer-level leaders who minister
in a defined field.

* Ambassadorial apostles. Apostles who
have itinerant, frequently international, ministries of catalyzing and
nurturing apostolic movements on a broad scale.

* Mobilizing apostles. Apostles who have
the authority to take leadership in bringing together qualified leaders
in the body of Christ for a specific cause or project.

* Territorial apostles. Apostles who have
been given authority for leading a certain segment of the body of Christ
in a given territorial sphere such as a city or state.

* Marketplace Apostles. It seems clear
that some marketplace apostles would be vertical (perhaps within a large
company) while others would be horizontal (bringing together peer-level
marketplace apostles). The more we work with marketplace apostles, the
more clarity will come in due time. (Understanding How Apostles
Minister in Different Spheres, Global Harvest Ministries, Source,
Jan. 22, 2009)

The fact is that the Bible does not speak at all about any
of these apostolic categories. C. Peter Wagner claims that he is
the head apostle of his movement and that he has the same authority as
a foundational apostle.

Apostles and prophets the foundation of the Church and, um, I
identify as James an apostle as my function as a horizontal apostle to
bring together the people of the body of Christ not only can I do it,
I love to do it. Yesterday I was the apostle with a group of about 15-20
prophets we met all day long, and these prophets many of whom are going
to be speakers in this conference come under my guidance, coordination
and leadership as an apostle. They each have apostles in their own networks
but I mean they are under spiritually. But I’m the one that brings
them together and when I bring them together things happen. (C. Peter
Wagner, National School of the Prophets - Mobilizing the Prophetic Office,
Colorado Springs, CO, May 11, 2002, Tape #1)

The Bible does speak about those who claim to be equal to the foundational
apostles.

2 Cor. 11:12-15 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in
order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be
considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such men are
false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is
not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.
Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Wagner has only developed his unbiblical theology in more detail as
the years have gone by.

On July 5 the Washington Times online reported that Pastor
Rick Warren told his Islamic audience, the Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA,) that he envisions "a coalition of faith." (cited
by Jan Markell, "An
Open Letter To Rick Warren", Source,
7/09)

There can be no unity between true believers and a false
religion that denies that God has a Son and that Jesus Christ was crucified.
Muslims cannot be saved unless they believe that the Lord Jesus Christ
was crucified to pay the penalty for our sins and risen again to guarantee
us eternal life. Faith in the false god Allah is not the same as
faith in Jesus Christ, therefore there can be no coalition of faith.

God, Creator of all people, in this month when a billion people will
observe Ramadan with fasting and prayer, with devotional reading and with
kindness to the needy, may your Spirit be at work in the hearts of Muslims,
Christians, and Jews (who together make up over half the world's population)
as well as people of other faiths and no stated faith. May your
gentle voice call us to move beyond our tribal visions of a deity who loves
"us" but hates "them." Help us to see you more truly as you are, a
God who is pure light, rich in mercy, whose mercy triumphs over judgment,
who knows us each by name, and who graciously considers us beloved,
wherever we are from, whatever our background, whatever labels we apply
to ourselves or others apply to us.May your voice of truth call
us to question the prejudices and misconceptions about you and about one
another that we learned from well-meaning but misinformed authority figures,
even when they thought they were speaking in your name. (Source,

(1) The Holy Spirit would only be at work among those who
have heard the Gospel in order to convict them of their sins. The
Holy Spirit is NOT at work among unrepentent people of false religions.
Notice that McLaren never mentions the Gospel, nor would he because it
would break up the unity he is trying to forge with Islam.

(2) The Christian concept of God does not come from "tribal visions".
It comes from the true prophets and those who wrote the Bible breathed
by the Holy Spirit. Our religion is the only true one and all the
others are false religions. God loved everyone enough to send His
Son to die for us but we must each make a decision to believe in Jesus
Christ in order for God's love have meaning in our lives. But God
does hate sin and those who continue in unbelief, including Muslims, are
self-condemned to hell.

(3) Whatever labels? Islam is a religion, not a label. Christianity
is true religion, not a label. Christians don't have misconceptions
about Islam. They have the facts and know that Muslims worship a
false god, a moon god, likely Baal. If the misinformed authority
figures McLaren is talking about are those who know the basis of the false
religion of Islam, then I'm afraid the misinformed person is McLaren.

Obama has made politeness, manners, courtesies and cool, once
the small change of civility, the large bills of civilization. Rather than
“courtesy” and “pleasantness” an add-on, or optional value, Obama has made
them the new/old norm. In the old civil religion, to say “I am an American”
was to say willy nilly “I am a Christian.” Just as the English poet Percy
Bysshe Shelley liked to claim that “we are all Greeks,” in some sense the
old civil religion made us able to say, “We are all Christians.” That
old civil religion, thanks to its association with concepts like democracy,
liberty, republicanism, and the opportunity to pursue dreams, gave the
very word “America” a positive charge. Because of superpower arrogance,
corporate greed, corrupt politics, trigger-happy warmongering, thrusting
foreign policy, ecological irresponsibility, and crass consumerism, that
very same civil religion gave the name America less happy associations.
In
fact, just after 9-11, I was asked to speak to some groups in Pretoria
and Johannesburg, South Africa. One afternoon, before I gave an address
to a South African seminary audience, one of the professors stood up from
his lofty perch in the back row of the science hall, announced he was taking
a moment of personal privilege, and spoke these words: “I hate Americans.
I am here because I was told I had to be here by the Dean. But I don’t
know what any American could say that could ever be of interest to me or
to any of us in South Africa.” Before he sat down, he turned around so
the crowd could see both the front and the back of his Osama bin Laden
t-shirt. The question of the new civil religion is whether it will enable
people of a Google culture to say: I am a USAmerican. I am a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Hindu/non-believer.
I am a citizen of the world.(Source,

It is typical of Emerging Church leaders to lump Christianity
in with the sins of America. The problem is that most of the USA
is populated with non-believers or Christians in name only. The born
again are a vast minority. To blame the attitude of the world about
the US on Christians is ludicrous. But there is a disdain for both
the Jews and Christians prompted by the devil through false religion.
Sweet's answer is to lump all religions together to appeal to people and
make friends with them. He does the same thing with postmodernists
instead of teaching them that their worldview is completely erroneous and
deadly dangerous. He is still one of the main proponants of this
strategy for the churches and many churches are buying into it. But
this strategy he admits he sees in Obama and likes it. He wants us
all to be "world citizens". This is only setting up people to be
controlled and diapraxed by the coming global government and the apostate
world religion. Choose this day whom you will serve ... Obama or
Jesus Christ!

Pictures of RHB's "River Church" where slain in the spirit
and "holy laughter" are still par for the course. (Source,
8/31/09)

Browne's "River Church" denomination is still dispensing
"slain in the spirit" while claiming to be winning souls to Christ.
When you claim you are preaching the Gospel but then deceive people with
a different spirit you are not doing the Lord's work. RHB continues
his Word of Faith, Latter Rain teachings while claiming to be bringing
thousands to Christ. Unfortunately, with slain in the spirit and
other Latter Rain practices, RHB is bringing them to a different Jesus.

2Co 11:4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus
other than the Jesus we preached,or if you receive a different
spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you
accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

If we are His disciples, filled with the same Spirit
that anointed Jesus, we are to do the same work. They are ‘greater works’
because God is not limited to one pair of hands, to one voice, but people
moving everywhere carry the same blessings and love. SIGNS AND WONDERS
FLOWED FROM CHRIST AND SHOULD FLOW FROM THE BODY OF CHRIST TODAY. (Reinhard
Bonnke, CfaN Ministry Blog,
9/3/09)

This is the same false teaching as Kenneth Copeland and
every other Word of Faith teacher teaches.

The verse about doing greater works is not talking about greater miracles
as no one will be walking on water, changing the weather instantly, or
feeding 5000 men with a few loaves and fishes, etc. What John 14:12
is talking about is the fact the the ministry of Jesus was primarily to
the Jews, but the ministry of the disciples on down to us is not only to
the Jews but to the Gentiles to the farthest ends of the earth. The work
of the Church today then has greater effect because of the work of Christ
on the cross. Any miracles being done through true believers are
never from us, but from God. He is the One who heals and does signs
and wonders in the earth, and He must receive all the glory, not false
faith healers that go around making a name for themselves with lying signs
and wonders and bilking people of their money.

God is about to make the Church so exciting that young
people will be brought into the Kingdom by the millions in a very short
period. ... God has shown me through prophetic revelation that the
recession that has been predicted shall not be.(Kim
Clement: "God is about to make the Church so exciting that young people
will be brought into the Kingdom by the millions in a very short period",
The ElijahList, 4/11/08)For they have unfairly spoken against an African man, and I'm not
talking about Jeremiah Wright; I'm talking about Obama. For God said, "Even
though you may think this or that, there is an element of righteousness
inside of him to reach out for Jesus. Therefore, I will sway it next
week," says the Spirit of God, "and I will cause My man, My power--to
exalt in the White House what is necessary to declare victory. For
this time, I shall rise up and I shall make known who I am in a way that
I have never done it in this nation," says the Lord. (Kim
Clement: Steve Shultz on Kim's OBAMA word: "This is Not My 'Obama' Endorsement!
It's Kim Clement's Prophecy Concerning Obama", The ElijahList, 4/9/08)

Two false prophecies in one. Millions of young people
have not been saved since last year. At the time of this false prophecy
there was already a recession that has lasted through the writing of this
article.

Is Obama truly "My Man" according to God? How can he be if he
had a pastor like Jeremiah Wright and attended an apostate UCC church?
How can he be if he was declared a Muslim while in Indonesia attending
a Muslim school? What is this "element of righteousness" in Obama
that God knows about? Does this mean that God sanctions lies?
How many lies has Obama already been caught in during the primary and his
early presidency? This is clearly a false prophecy, and maybe even
worse.

As I woke up, I had several "knowings" as a result of
this dream experience. Again, there were no audible words in this dream.
But the feeling dimension was very alive! I did feel a word dropped
inside of me, though, as I woke up: "Get positioned for an open Heaven."(James
Goll: "Confessing Generational Sins and Positioned for an Open Heaven!",
The ElijahList, 4/12/08)

So now prophets are going by their feelings from the "feeling
dimension". Where is any example of this in the Bible among the true
prophets? Where is this "feeling dimension" evidenced in the Bible?
It is not, and in fact the Bible states that false prophets are driven
by false visions and delusion of their minds (Jer 14:14). Then we
have this "open heaven" taught by a number of Latter Rain false teachers
and false prophets. There is no such thing. God the Father
and Son are in the third heaven also called Paradise. This third
heaven is only "open" to those who have died in Christ. God works
with His Church but the access they have to heaven is through prayer in
Christ Who intercedes for us with the Father. But the core issue
is that people like Goll are trying to get people to come under the false
apostles and get squarely into the center of the Dominion doctrines of
the NAR.

"If I ever stood on a platform and said, "I have been
to heaven and seen Jesus," leave my meeting. If I have ever said that "Angels
talk to me on a daily basis," leave the service. If I ever tell you
that "I have known the name of angels in glory," leave the service. If
I ever tell you "I can take you to heaven with me to visit Jesus," leave
the service. Yet some, please forgive me, simple-minded people have
sat in meetings and listened to such nonsense of people telling them they
have visited heaven, and gone and talked to Abraham and have coffee
with him. WHERE IS IT IN THE BIBLE?! Paul, the Apostle, went to
heaven and wouldn't dare talk about it."(Benny Hinn, From "word-for-word transcript of Benny
Hinn's October 30-31, 2008 Freedom From Deception message at the Kentucky
International Convention Center "Fire Conference" in Louisville, Kentucky")

This was a message where Hinn was putting down Todd Bentley
and others for doing EXACTLY what he has been doing for years. Hinn
stated on video that he had angels showing up in his room every day for
a year. (Benny Hinn, Honolulu Crusade, February 28, 1997. Transcript of
Hinn’s comments made by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries. Audio
tape and transcript on file.) He also claimed to go to heaven and
to the Throne Room but God was not on the throne.

And I'm preaching to a great crowd that I saw. I saw an angel
of the Lord in that dream. Now, I won't say any more about that because
I don't feel at liberty what that angel was doing, not on television.
I'll share that maybe later on some other programs if God permits me.
But now as I'm done preaching I walk into what looked like the temple of
God. I'm in the throne room. I see God's throne, I see the
seats of the elders, but its empty. God was not in there. (TBN,
"Praise The Lord", 12/29/02)

Not only that but dead people appear to him on a regular basis.

I saw myself walk into a room and there stood Kathryn Kuhlman. And
I’ve not seen Kathryn in a dream or a vision [in] years. Uh, when she died,
the day she died, the morning she died, I had a dream what I—what I saw
in a—in a—in a—in a casket with a white dress. And when I woke up in—in
the morning I knew she had died, and it was on the news that same morning.
And so it’s been many years. And there she was standing in this room and
she said to me—of course this was a dream, but really more of a vision.
A lot of times dreams are really visions of the night, and the Bible calls
them that. When—when God gives to you in the fashion it really came with
me. When I was a little boy, I saw the Lord in this dream. It was really
so real, it was really a vision because when—when he appeared to me my
body became electric just like electricity went through me and when I awoke
that electricity was still on my body.” (Benny Hinn, This
Is Your Day, June 11, 1997, video tape on file.)

Finally Todd Bentley stated that Hinn had a great impact on his life.

“Let me give you a little background. I was impacted years ago, and
first introduced to this kind of intimacy, through the ministries of Benny
Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlman. They opened the way for me to go beyond the power
of God’s Spirit, the gifts or any kind of experience like the baptism of
the Holy Spirit.” -Todd Bentley(Fresh Fire or False Fire?, http://reformedevangelist.com/?tag=todd-bentley,

“John Arnott, senior pastor of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship,
where a spiritual outpouring began in 1994, was at Tuesday night’s service
with his wife, Carol. Bentley honored the couple for sharing “the father
heart of God” with the world. Arnott later blessed the Lakeland meetings.
“Todd, it’s just amazing what God is doing here … it’s being talked about
around the world,” Arnott said. “Carol and I are here tonight to absolutely
bless this, with everything in us.” (cited in Source,
Charisma Magazine, 5/22/08)

Bentley went on to divorce his wife and marry, with the
blessing of Rick
Joyner, a woman he was having an affair with at the time of Arnott's
blessing. Apparently God really had nothing to do with what Todd
Bentley was doing. Read more about Bentley here.

The quickness to condemn and abandon a fallen comrade
has caused us as much concern as has the actual sin of our friend.
Some want to humiliate and expose Todd before the world. And then there
are others who want to point to the obvious anointing on Todd’s life as
the sign of God’s approval of Todd’s behavior. Neither is acceptable to
us. There must be deep repentance and thorough restoration.(PUBLIC
STATEMENT ON TODD BENTLEY FROM REVIVAL ALLIANCE, Randy Clark, October 23rd 2008)

How can there be "deep repentance and thorough restoration"
when these mentors of Todd
Bentley counselled him to get married to his mistress and divorce his
wife? How could this have been any type of revival from the Lord
while this was going on behind the scenes and Todd was busy doing things
like kicking an old lady on stage in order for her to be healed?
This is another ludicrous statement by suypporters of the Lakeland "Revival".

God says: "The soil has been scorched. But where it has
been scorched there, I'm about to pour rain as never before. California,
I have loved you. I have kept you as My own. I am jealous over you. I have
watched with a burning jealousy, and I said that I will only consume
the enemies of this California, for I have raised it up to be a voice
to Nations. I have raised it up so that people will see American domestic
television in a different way and in a different light." God said, "I'm
about to invade American domestic television and send it to the earth with
light, light, light, light, light, light!"(Kim Clement:
A Magnitude 5.6 EARTHQUAKE Just Shook the SAN FRANCISCO Area. God says,
"Freedom Has Come to California", The ElijahList, 10/31/07)

Wow. How wrong could he be! To this day secular
American TV gets more deviant as it goes and American Christian TV has
brought the truth into disrepute all over the world. California has
not been a witness for the Lord but is full of blasphemies and markets
deviant behavior to the entire planet.

Says God, "I'm coming and heeding their cries. Will not
My city be saved? Will not Africa be saved? Will not Europe be saved? Will
not South America be saved? North America?" ... "New wells. New wells
for a new day. But this well carries with it not only revival, but reformation,
societal transformation." ... "It's going be greater than tsunamis'; for
there
is a spiritual tsunami coming to Asia," says God. "There's a spiritual
tsunami being poured out across the face of the earth." (CINDY
JACOBS: God says, "I'm Raising Up a New Generation of Revivalists Such
as the World Has Not Seen", The ElijahList, 9/18/07)

God is not going to save whole continents and nations, certainly
not through these false prophets. The only societal transformation
will happen when Christ returns to rule and judge the earth in the Millennial
Kingdom. Till then we struggle against spiritual principalities and
powers (Eph. 6:12) who have the rule over the earth (John 14:30, Eph. 2:2).
All of Asia will not be saved, only individuals in Asia who understand
the Gospel message through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, repent and
believe. The earth will not be saved. Few will find the narrow
way (Matt. 7:14). This Dominionism is simply a setup for the Antichrist
who will claim to be saving the planet and bringing peace (Dan. 9:27).
Be careful of the false prophetesses who cry "Peace, peace" where there
is no peace (Jer. 6:14)!

Recently I was invited into a prison to teach about the
shofar and, of course, to blow it . . . . At the end of the teaching, I
explained how the breath of God is released as the shofar is blown...In
the Spirit as the shofar sounded, I immediately saw a Jacob's ladder being
extended down inside of many prisons and jails with angels ascending and
descending . . . . I saw angels with swords drawn ready to cut time for
some prisoners . . . SOME PRISON FILES AND RECORDS WILL STRANGELY DISAPPEAR
THIS COMING YEAR -- I SAW ANGELS SNOOPING INTO FILING CABINETS. In
the Spirit I could overhear some prison wardens and officials discussing
some of the prisoners' destinies who were doomed with lengthy sentences,
saying, "How can this be? Where are those records and files? Without that
record or file there is not enough evidence to keep him here! He will walk
out the front gate a free man!" Death row angels were descending to interfere
in the affairs of men and women and the death assignments over them. Some
angels were present to stay the hand of death, while other angels were
present to welcome others into the presence of Jesus. (Bill
Yount: "THE YEAR OF THE PRISON BREAKER ANOINTING--MANY JOSEPHS ARE BEING
SUMMONED BY THE KING!", The ElijahList, 5/12/2007)

Comment by The Berean Call: Mr. Yount declared his vision
of a heavenly "jail break" was made possible not by prayer but by the blowing
of a ram's horn. Yount's "prophetic words" are promoted by the Elijah List,
and he is a favored speaker at New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) conferences.
Mr. Yount teaches that blowing the shofar operates according to scientific
and spiritual "laws" so that the physical properties of sound has a profound
heavenly impact, which in turn releases favor and God's "breath" upon the
earth. In contrast to Scripture or early church practice, no such tools
or methods are taught in God's Word. One might also wonder why the Lord
needs to rifle file cabinets in order to accomplish his will. (http://www.thebereancall.org/node/5432)
